The Boston Bruins have chosen not to initiate arbitration proceedings with their goaltender Jeremy Swayman, thereby allowing other teams in the National Hockey League, such as the Montreal Canadiens, to potentially submit hostile offers.
Now free to receive offers, 25-year-old Swayman is eligible to be courted by all teams, although only a few have the necessary means for such a move.
According to Ty Anderson of 98.5 The Sports Hub, approximately $9.1 million would be required to compel Boston to match the offer. The Montreal Canadiens are mentioned as having the financial resources and draft picks necessary to potentially complete such a transaction.
